GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

There's a lot of so-called hardcore gamers out there that still think that Nintendo is just for kids. Well, it's long past time for them to stop playing that old broken record. If games like Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 4, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, No More Heroes, and Manhunt 2 weren't enough, some gruesome goodness has been announced at this year's E3... coming to a Nintendo system near you.

First of all we've got Capcom's zombiefest Dead Risingfrom the XBox 360 making its way to the Wii with some Wii-specific features. Also, there's Oneechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers(or Oneechanbara Revolution); another game from the 360 that was only released in Japan. The series started out on the PS2, but the Wii version is the first one planned for a U.S. release; it even spawned a motion picture. It's a game about two girls in cowgirl bikinis or schoolgirl outfits hacking zombies with swords. Yeah. You don't need to know anything else. Just put it on your wish list already. Then there's Madworld; an ultraviolent action game for the Wii set in a Sin City-like black and white world where the only color in it is red. Blood red. Here, lemme wipe that drool off your chin for ya.

Surprisingly, the DS gets in some the action as well the the announcement of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. GTA for the DS? That game is bought. I'm curious to see what kind of Liberty City chaos I can cause with the stylus. Nintendo is definitely trying to shed that kiddie image that they've been labeled with for all these years. Even the non M-rated games look good. Once again, it's cool to have a Nintendo.

On another note, if you haven't seen Batman: The Dark Knight yet, don't waste your time... it sucked and it was too short. Ok seriously, it was the total opposite of that. Go see it now. If you have seen it, you've seen probably the best movie of the summer... if not the entire year (sorry, Iron Man).

I was about to freak when you said not to waste your time seeing The Dark Knight...but turns out you were just kidding =). I'm glad Nintendo is finally appealing to all the M-rated gamers out there but...is it really good for Nintendo's image to be selling all these M games on it's naturally E and T-rated console? Consumers (in particular parents) might get the wrong idea.

The games Nintendo produces are family oriented, but it's nice they're bringing in rated M games to the console and the handheld. I think it was only for kids when before the Super Nintendo, but the press here tends to sell the story in any way, tabloid like. Hey, good writing brother.
